Abstract

Islamic concept has become more prominent in the development of society. It is no longer an unfamiliar concept among the world communities. In addition, the administration and management based on Islamic concept is also becoming increasingly popular among organizations around the world. Since many scholars believe that there is still lack of study regarding Islamic perspective in management, thus the purpose of this research is to examine the problem regarding this matter and to explore more about the Qur’an way of leadership. A total of 180 civil servants in the public sector in Kuching and Kota Samarahan areas participated in the survey. The result reveals that belief was found to be significant with very strong correlation and positive relationship with leadership effectiveness. Meanwhile for rituals, the result shows that this variable has insignificant with a moderate correlation and positive relationship with leadership effectiveness. Suggestions for future research were also discussed.

Highlights

  • ICT spending has resulted in large and complex computing environments which have become overly expensive to operate, maintain and provide very little strategic value or return (Raup-Kounovsky et al, 2010; Teo and Ang, 1999)

  • The results show that all the six constructs coordination of expertise, communication plan, IT infrastructure reach, on time, within cost, process innovation and within cost are all valid measures of their respective constructs based on their parameter estimates and statistical significance (Chow and Chan, 2008)

  • This study supports conventional views of the influence of independent variables of coordination of expertise, communication plan and IT infrastructure reach on the perceived extent of process innovation in software project process in Malaysian public sector using the Partial Least Square (PLS) techniques in testing hypotheses

Summary

Introduction

ICT spending has resulted in large and complex computing environments which have become overly expensive to operate, maintain and provide very little strategic value or return (Raup-Kounovsky et al, 2010; Teo and Ang, 1999). According to the AttorneyGeneral‟s report in 2006, the Customs Department spent RM290 million for a system which was subsequently underutilised In this case, the Deloitte Consulting firm was appointed to prepare a plan in the vicinity of RM451 million to develop the solution (Lee, 2007). In the manufacturing industry (Boujelben and Fedhila, 2010), information and technology (Rajala and Westerlund, 2008; Waychal et al, 2011), small and medium enterprises (SMEs) (Piperopoulos and Scase, 2009), defence industry (Borjesson and Elmquist, 2012) and pharmaceutical (Asad et al, 2018b; Chaturvedi and Chataway, 2006; Subramanian et al, 2011) This shows that innovations can assist organizations to defend and strengthen their organizations in the market. The last section is on discussion and conclusion with suggestions for future research
